My baby is getting fever since yesterday and I was giving her Ibugesic plus 5 ml as per the Dr. Now my family members are saying that medication must not be given so quickly let the body fight the fever it should be given only when it's very high. Mom's please share ur point of view my baby is 1 year 8 m old

A. not advisable to wait when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 100 F or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity of the child and if it is 99 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then Paracetamol is given
